MALANI P.O.V.

I woke up still mad as hell! Harlem don't have to worry about me again! Like seriously. I tell you, you don't fight for me you just let whatever I say be it and that's it. That's the damn problem. You let me walk away every time you never show me that I mean anything to you. Like what the fuck? Crash out! Get mad! Tell a nigga to back off me! I bet if I was Rose he would have did all that plus more.

I shouldn't have to beg a nigga to fuck with me. It's plenty of niggas out here for me that'll gladly fight for me. Talkin bout some he not fuckin me if we not together but he draws the line at me fuckin somebody else. I can be single all I want but when it comes to fuckin I better not fuck nobody else. But he doesn't wanna fuck me?! Yeah okay he gone be real mad and wish he never said that dumb shit when I fuck somebody else! I been stingy with this coochie for over a decade I'm Completely giving myself to someone else! Shit Rose did it all the time and niggas still wanted to marry her! Hell he even actually married her. You know who has been celibate for decades. Me! And who's not married? ME!

I grabbed my phone and called Duke. He answered on the third ring. I didn't think he was for a second. "Hello?"'his sexy deep sleepy voice answered.

Goodmorning, did I wake you?

Nah shawty I just got up.

Okay good. I just wanted to call you and apologize about last night.

What about last night? I was a lil fucked up honestly.

The whole situation with Scar...

Ohhh yo ole man! Yeah I ain't know you fuck with him.
I wish you would have said something befo hand. I ain't tryna die baebay.

It's not like that. We aren't together... can I take you out to lunch or something to apologize.

You sure yall not together. Mane pulled a gun out on me I do remember that shit. Like I said I ain't tryna die.

I promise we are NOT together.

Ight, I ain't tryna play with fire though shawty. But ima take ya word feel me.

When are you free?

I'm free in a bit. I know this perfectly lil spot around the way we can meet at. Mom and pops joint got some good ass food.

Okay just send me the address and I'll meet you there.

Ight, talk to you in a bit shawty. He hung up the phone and I got up to shower and get dressed. I wanted to look good! I decided on this set I had from fashion nova which was a long sleeve top in a nude color with the matching mini skirt. I was gonna pair it with my  tall black thigh high heels and my nude Louis Vutton purse. I added a few Cubans and my Rolex and did my everyday simple glam. I was looking too good. By the time I finished he had sent me the address of the place he wanted to eat.

I walked in and he was standing by the hostess stand waiting for me. He smiled when I walked in and he hugged me. "Damn you gorgeous!" He smiled embracing me in a hug. He smelt so good.

Thank you! I smile. "You look good yourself!" He had on a black Milano sweat shirt, some light blue Rock jeans and a fresh pair of Times. Had a few chains on. He was looking good.

Thank you, thank you! I followed him to a table and we sat across from each other.

You not from here are you? I asked really wanting to know the more he talked the more his accent showed.

Nah! He laughed. "I'm from New Orleans."

I thought so. I loveeee the way yall talk.

Oh really!

Yeah, it's just something about it. I just love it. What you doing up here?
